Time is the only resource that we cannot buy or earn again, thus how we utilize them is very important. Using it to buy items that can make us better individuals or that can improve our lives is most likely going to pay off in the long term. Each decision we make about how to spend our time has the cost to it, and once we spend our time unproductively, these opportunities probably will not come back. How you spend your time usually translates into future better-skilled, better-health, and better-finances.
Your comments are truly thought-provoking. Time is a resource that, once gone, if it could be regained, everyone would try to bring it back. It cannot be brought back with money or will. Many times, we have to do things that have no future significance. Full attention and cheap availability of time, skills, health or punishment would have been much better. We have left so many things behind in this time gap. However, we need to be aware of these, then maybe we will have something good in the future.
